Verse
KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Do
ye
indeed
speak
righteousness
, O congregation
? do
ye judge uprightly
, O ye
sons of men?
To
the
Overseer.
--
`Destroy
not.'
--
A
secret
treasure
, by
David.
Is
it
true,
O dumb
one,
righteously
ye
speak
? Uprightly
ye judge, O sons of men?
Yea,
in heart ye work wickedness;
ye
weigh
the violence of your hands in
the
earth
.
Even
in heart ye work iniquities,
In
the land
the
violence of your hands ye
ponder
.
The wicked are
estranged from the womb :
they
go
astray
as
soon
as
they be
born
, speaking lies.
The wicked have
been
estranged from the womb ,
They have
erred
from
the
belly
, speaking lies.
Their poison is like
the
poison of a serpent :
they
are
like
the
deaf adder
that
stoppeth
her
ear ;
Their poison `
is '
as
poison of a serpent ,
As
a
deaf asp
shutting
its
ear ,
Which will
not hearken
to the voice of charmers
, charming
never
so
wisely
.
Which hearkeneth
not to the voice of whisperers
, A
charmer
of
charms
most
skilful
.
Break
their
teeth,
O God, in their mouth :
break
out
the great
teeth of the
young lions, O LORD
.
O God, break
their
teeth
in their mouth ,
The jaw-
teeth of young lions break
down
, O Jehovah
.
Let
them
melt
away
as waters which
run
continually:
when
he
bendeth
his
bow
to
shoot
his
arrows
, let
them
be
as cut in
pieces
.
They
are
melted
as waters, They
go
up
and
down
for
themselves,
His
arrow
proceedeth
as they
cut themselves
off
.
As a snail which
melteth, let
every
one
of
them
pass
away:
like
the
untimely birth of a woman, that
they may
not see
the sun.
As a snail that
melteth he
goeth
on
, `As'
an
untimely birth of a woman, They have
not seen
the sun.
Before your pots can
feel
the thorns
, he shall
take
them
away as
with
a
whirlwind,
both
living,
and
in
his
wrath
.
Before your pots discern
the bramble
, As
well
the
raw
as
the
heated
He whirleth
away.
The righteous shall
rejoice
when
he seeth
the
vengeance :
he
shall
wash
his feet
in the blood of the wicked.
The righteous rejoiceth
that
he hath
seen
vengeance ,
His steps
he
washeth
in the blood of the wicked.
So
that
a
man shall
say,
Verily
there
is a
reward
for the righteous: verily
he
is a God that
judgeth
in the earth .
And
man saith:
`Surely
fruit
`
is '
for the righteous: Surely
there
is a God judging
in the earth !'
